NASA’s most powerful space telescope has identified the molecular and chemical profile of an exoplanet’s atmosphere, in another demonstration of its ability to unveil the mysteries of the cosmos. The James Webb Telescope has been astounding space watchers since its launch earlier this year, with its powerful infrared capabilities giving scientists a window into deep … Read more
It’s the universe as we’ve never experienced it before. The James Webb Space Telescope is sending back incredible images of deep space so advanced scientists believe it’s going to “change astronomy forever.” It’s not only that we can see into space and time billions of years ago. The magic is that we can see anything … Read more
Researchers, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), have found two of the exceptionally bright and farthest galaxies seen to date. These galaxies existed approximately 450 million and 350 million years after the big bang, respectively. The previous record holder is a bright infant galaxy, named GN-z11, which existed just 400 million years after the … Read more

James Webb led NASA in the 1950s and 60s, during the Cold War–era “Lavender Scare,” when government agencies often enforced policies that discriminated against gay and lesbian federal workers. For that reason, astronomers and others have long called for NASA to change the name of the James Webb Space Telescope. Earlier this year, the space … Read more
The galaxy cluster is hidden behind our Milky Way. (Representational Image) Space scientists have discovered a galaxy cluster far beyond the center of our Milky way, in an uncharted region known as the “zone of avoidance”. The blank region, which resembles a phantom zone, comprised about 10-20 per cent of the night sky, according to … Read more

Erik Rosolowsky was like a kid at Christmas when the James Webb Space Telescope started sending him long-awaited photos of a distant galaxy. And the first person he wanted to show his new present to was his Uncle Mike. Rosolowsky, an associate professor of physics at the University of Alberta, was among the first Canadian … Read more
The University of Toronto team originally thought that the “sparks” might actually be separate objects far past or in front of the Sparkler Galaxy. However, the fact that all three versions of the Sparkler Galaxy show the same dots strongly suggests they are connected. James Webb peers into the ancient past The astronomers believe the … Read more
